Problems solved by technology

However, these conventional analog records include only limited number of songs in each piece so that DJs need to carry a large amount of records for preparing a wide range of music for that amount of time.

The conventional records occupy a certain volume so that they are heavy, large, and inconvenient to carry.

However, not the whole song is applied or modified with special sound effects, only at certain segments.

While playing digital music, there is no way to know the positions of the certain segment and it's difficult to mark the digital music.

Yet the DJ needs to be alert to the playing music for producing special effects at the proper times. This is with much trouble and inconvenience for the DJs to find out the segments immediately for producing special effects.
